Park and trail updates are coming to East Gwillimbury this summer! We’re improving some public spaces to better serve our growing community and meet your needs. Throughout the summer temporary construction closures are scheduled to install new playground structures, expand parking, and improve our natural areas at some of our favorite parks and trails in EG.
EG’s park improvement projects are exciting, and we look forward to having you enjoy them once complete, however, to ensure everyone’s safety please follow posted signage and stay clear of fenced-off or closed construction areas, even when the contractor is not on site.
During construction, park, and trail goers are encouraged to find an alternate park or trail to enjoy. For details on parks and trails in EG, please visit the Parks Map page and use the interactive map tool. Details on each park or trail improvement project are below, to learn more click on the project name for more information.
